What you'll do

  • Market Mapping and Origination: Work across the organization’s business units and functions to identify acquisition targets from a sector-first perspective.

  • Financial Modeling & Valuation: Build and maintain complex financial models (valuation and merger models, accretion/dilution analyses and precedent transaction analyses) to evaluate potential acquisitions.

  • Due Diligence: Coordinate and manage cross-functional due diligence teams (Legal, Finance, Operations, etc.), synthesizing key findings and developing risk mitigation strategies. Work closely with third-party providers.

  • Market Analysis: Conduct industry and competitive landscape analysis within the AI / Digital Infrastructure, Technology & Software, Industrials, Energy and Real Estate sectors. Examples include data centers, compute, power and cooling, connectivity, and AI and infrastructure software. The goal is to identify strategic market gaps and attractive investment opportunities.

  • Prepare and present transaction rationale to the Executive Leadership Team: and possibly the Board of Directors.
